It will all be okay

“Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.”

― John Lennon

Imperfectly

Better to walk imperfectly in your dream
than to walk perfectly in someone else's.

Actions

Our actions express what words cannot.

Sculptor

We sculpt our lives by whittling away what does not belong to reveal what does.

Unpleasant Emotions

Unpleasant emotions flag where we limit ourselves. Mike Dooley, Infinite Possibilities

2010 NDM Salem, MA

Survival

When the brain dedicates its resources to survival mode, it cannot make room for creativity.
Lack of sleep, connection, and healthy habits puts our bodies, and the brain, in survival mode.
Becoming visionaries who create and expand from our present condition, then, requires conscious effort to eliminate  our survival mode conditions.
We are blessed to be in a position to make such a choice.
It is our choice.

expectation 

and enthusiasm

Engage the magic of life.

Eyes

When we look into another's eyes, we open a door.

Wait for what you see rather than look for what you anticipate.

Prepositions

Is your life happening...

to you

through you

by you

with you

for you

?

The Tell

Friends may not be able to help us weed the garden of our dreams, 

but release those who interfere with your gardening.

The Past

We focus on our past to explain a present situation because we still need some truth from it.

Otherwise, we just move on. 

An entire future is waiting for us to explore her.

2015 NDM

Thrive

Thrive is a default setting.

Story

Everyone has a story.
Live your life in a way that reminds them to tell it.

Never too Late

In every moment we can begin again.
It's never too late.

Tribe

2012 NDM

When you realize you never lost your

tribe~

any feeling of isolation disintegrates like

granules of salt in water.

The ego fears its lost identity, but---

We are never lost and never alone in this 

interconnected web of love. 

Uncertainty

What do you really need to know

to feel comfortable with uncertainty?

2015 NDM

Be Amused

Those living a linear life will criticize those who are not.

Be amused.

Be very amused.

Woo

Living deliberately takes the woo out of the woo-woo.

Do

To know and not do is the same as not know. 
                                  ~~ Mike Dooley, Infinite Possibilities

Little dreams

To figure out that one bold, audacious dream we first have to practice by honoring those little ones.

Little stars twinkle with as much beauty in the night sky as the sun's time in the day.

Intense Change

NDM 2014

A pine cone seed can sprout only under intense heat. 
To say change is difficult lacks articulation. 
To actually admit we are uncomfortable with change renders its difficulty irrelevant.  

Unfolding

“I want to unfold. 
I don’t want to stay folded anywhere, because where I am folded, there I am a lie.” 


-Ranier Maria Rilke

Grief

2012 NDM 

Grief is not an obstacle to overcome or an exercise in self control. 

Like water carving a canyon, it has a destination, and in its time, creates a monument of the journey. 

Our grief reminds us we have loved and can love fully. 

Courage

“You must be the person you have never had the courage to be.”


– Paulo Coelho
